Were you looking in the right "My Documents"? The one that shows up at the top of the Explorer tree is actually a dynamic link to another folder in the system... it's different for everyone.

I'd start at C:\, then work your way through Documents and Settings to find his user ID and his own My Docs folder. The stuff should be in there.

That's part of the reason that I (a) use my own folder instead of My Docs and (b) always have two logons to a machine, each with administrator rights. If I muck up one of 'em, I can use the other. If I muck up both, I can reinstall Windows...
